Fresh & Glowy | Spring Makeup Picks

May 11, 2018May 11, 20182 Comments

Spring has finally (!) sprung here in the UK! In fact, we seem to have gone from the depths of winter (i.e. blinded by actual snow in March) to the height of summer (i.e. blinded by pasty topless men everywhere you look) in about 3 days... The prospect of seemingly skipping an entire season has … Continue reading Fresh & Glowy | Spring Makeup Picks

Empties | November – December 2017

February 19, 20185 Comments

As I sit down to write this post, it's the middle of February 2018. I think that says a lot about my current enthusiasm for writing empties posts - each time I started one last year they just felt more and more tedious to do. I think it's been important to track what I've used … Continue reading Empties | November – December 2017

Empties | September – October 2017

December 7, 2017Leave a comment

As the end of 2017 draws ever closer, I'll fully admit I'm falling behind on my blog posts! I've had this box of trash sat in my house for far longer than I'd like - mostly due to pouring all my extra minutes into Swatch Perfect - but I'm hoping to rekindle my blogging motivation … Continue reading Empties | September – October 2017

Brija Cosmetics Collection & Swatches Part 1 | Indie Makeup Brand

July 29, 2017April 13, 20183 Comments

I recently made my second order at Brija Cosmetics, bringing my total collection to 8 full size shadows, 13 minis, 3 highlighters and a blush - so I figured it was about time I did a post about them! There's a ton of shadows to get through, so I've split this post into two parts. … Continue reading Brija Cosmetics Collection & Swatches Part 1 | Indie Makeup Brand

I might not have been posting on the 'gram... But I sure as hell have been buying makeup 🙃 what would you pick from my giant collective haul? I've felt a little bit in limbo for the past few months, impatiently waiting for the next chapter of adulthood to begin - but it's finally right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited 🙏 I'm not going to divulge exactly what it is that's going on because I don't want to jinx it! But you'll find out very soon... And no, I'm not pregnant 😅 💕 @meltcosmetics @makeuprevolution @nablacosmetics @maybelline @zoevacosmetics @goshuk @sleekmakeup @beautyglazed @officialbbeauty @obsession #meltgemini #meltstack #meltcosmetics #beautyglazed #zoeva #revolutionmakeup #sleekmakeup #nablacosmetics #nabla #nabladreamy #maybellinexgigihadid #bbdaretoshare #slaytheflatlay #makeuphaul #makeupporn #makeupflatlay #discoverunder100k #bbloggersuk #ukbloggers #kissoffire #eyeshadowpalette
When you love a blush formula so much, you just... Buy the entire range... 🔥 These @obsession blushes really ARE that good. Since I bought the shade Honey (the one in the middle) I've used it a ton, and it's one of the only blushes I own that stays on my face for the entire day. Pigmented, but blends like a dream. Magic. ✨ And when I saw @shoprevolutionbeauty had them all on sale for £1.50? Well, it would be rude not to get them all, wouldn't it? 💕 #revolutionmakeup #obsession #affordablemakeup
Did I just post a review of a product on launch day?! 🤔 These Magnetize Eyeshadows are brand new at @makeuprevolution @shoprevolutionbeauty today - check out my blog (link in bio 👉) for some swatches and to find out what I think of them!

I'm a 'lil emotional to discover @innisfreeofficial are discontinuing their EU shipping service - and it's nothing to do with the glass of 🍷 and leftover easter egg 🍫 I'm currently consuming! You might know that Innisfree is my favourite skincare brand (trust me to pick a company you can't even get in the UK) and I've ordered from their Korean warehouse a bunch of times. For around £7, my orders usually come in under a week, with free tracking and no customs charges. Cracking! Tomorrow is the last day to make orders from the EU do you better act fast if you don't want to miss out 😱 Hopefully they re-instate the EU shipping soon or I'll have to contain myself with buying off eBay 😭 ❤ ❤ #bbloggersuk #innisfree #kbeauty #skincarehaul #koreanskincare #skincare #slaytheflatlay #discoverunder100k #beautypage #ukbloggers #skincarejunkie #shelfie #beautyblog #sheetmask #skincarehaul

Used the @limecrimemakeup Venus II on my face for the first time today 😍 Loving it so far - the shades are so pigmented and easy to blend, and the colour selection is so far up my alley it's unreal 🙌 I used Mustard, Mud and Fly and I can't wait to try out the other shades! Big thanks to my babe @beautywithwispa for treating me to this for my birthday last year - I'd wanted it for so long and it doesn't disappoint 💓 ❤ ❤ #limecrime #venus2 #limecrimemakeup #limecrimevenus #venus2palette #eyeshadowpalette #ukbloggers #bbloggersuk #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #discoverunder100k #macro #primelens #canonm3 #canonprime #beautypage #newmakeup #indiemakeup #indiecosmetics #makeupreview #makeuphaul #beautyblogger #makeupmacro #beautyblog #luxurybeauty #highendmakeup
I loved the @w7makeupuk Naughty Nines Palette in Midsummer Nights so much I decided to add Arabian Nights to my collection too 😍 These are really similar in layout and shades to the MAC Times Nine Palettes and personally I think the quality is fantastic for a palette under £3 🙌 Midsummer Nights also gives me Naked 3 Vibes and I've done some amazing pink-toned looks with it. The shades in these palettes have a good variety in tones, a good mix of matte and shimmer, and I love the compact travel-friendly packaging 👌 You can pick these up on eBay - there's also purple and blue toned versions. 💡 Have you guys tried any W7 palettes? ❤ ❤ #bbloggersuk #w7 #w7naughtynines #naughtynines #w7palette #w7makeup #w7cosmetics #macdupe #timesninedupe #burgundytimesnine #ambertimesnine #macpalette #maceyeshadow #makeupdupe #macdupe #affordablemakeup #drugstoremakeup #drugstore #discoverunder100k #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupdupes #makeupcollector #beautypage #beautycommunity #eyeshadowpalette #ukbloggers #makeupreview
Feel really bad for all the times I said bad things about eyeshadow sticks 🙈 now I've figured out how to use them properly (i.e. actually blend them) I've realised why so many people love them 😂 So I'm making up for lost time by trying all the different formulas - @goshuk are my current fave ❤ Tell me your fave stick/cream eyeshadows in the comments 👇👇 Also let me know if you like my new iridescent backdrop 😉 P.S. Sorry about my naked nails, beauty for me doesn't extend far past my head.. I hardly ever paint them 'cos I struggle to come to terms with being helpless for an hour 😰 ❤ ❤ #bbloggersuk #ukbloggers #gosh #goshcosmetics #goshcopenhagen #rimmel #rimmellondon #bourjois #hmbeauty #drugstore #affordablemakeup #drugstoremakeup #discoverunder100k #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #eyeshadowstick #creamshadow #creameyeshadow #superdrughaul #bootshaul #drugstorehaul #beautypage #everydaymakeup #eyeshadow #makeupblog #makeupcollector
Just a few of the new blushes I've bought recently ❤ For some reason I've gone absolutely mental buying blush this year! The @lorealmakeup ones surprised me, the shades are perfect for everyday and unlike anything else I have in my collection 😍 The @obsession one has an amazingly longlasting formula (barely any blushes last all day on me) and I loved the @sleekmakeup one so much I went and bought all the other shades in the range 🙈 to be fair, Superdrug and Boots are not going to stock Sleek any more so there was an element of panic buying there too... 💡 So sorry I've been AWOL, but running @swatchperfectuk single-handedly takes up a hell of a lot of my time 🙈 I think a lot of us are getting a little disillusioned with IG, too. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things - I miss making pretty photos for fun! Hopefully I can find the motivation to get into blogging again ❤ #bbloggersuk #ukbloggers #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #discoverunder100k #blush #blusher #sleekmakeup #sleek #rimmel #rimmellondon #makeupobsession #tambeauty #revoholic #loreal #lorealmakeup #affordablemakeup #drugstore #drugstoremakeup #motd #lotd #faceoftheday #makeupreview #beautyreview #ontheblog #blushpalette #makeupjunkie #makeupaddict #beautypage
